“The knight, Cuer, clad in armour, stands in front of a mysterious black stone. Dawn is breaking, the sun has just risen behind a hedge on the horizon. The night before, Cuer had been unable to read the inscription on the stone. Now he reaches out with his left hand to decipher line after line the threatening message” c. 1457-65 from the Book of the Heart Seized by Love
